以下、図面に示された図を参照にしながら、本発明についてより詳細に説明する。   Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in more detail with reference to the drawings shown in the drawings.

図１は、本発明に係るフロントガラス用ワイパー装置１の好ましい改良例を示す。このフロントガラス用ワイパー装置１は、弾性素材からなり、その縦側面に対向する縦溝３が形成されたワイパーブレード２と、バネ帯鋼からなり、縦溝３に嵌合された縦片部材４（図７参照）とを具備している。片部材４は、ゴム製ワイパーブレード２に対する可撓性キャリア要素を形成し、言うなれば、これは湾曲した状態で付勢される（作用状態における湾曲は、拭取対象であるフロントガラスのそれになっている）。片部材４の隣接端５は、フロントガラス用ワイパー装置１の両側で、別体の構成要素である連結部品６の手段によって相互連結されている。さらに、このフロントガラス用ワイパー装置１は、揺動アーム８用の連結具７と、スポイラ９とを具備している。   FIG. 1 shows a preferred improvement of a windscreen wiper device 1 according to the present invention. The windshield wiper device 1 is made of an elastic material, and includes a wiper blade 2 having a longitudinal groove 3 opposed to a longitudinal side surface thereof, and a longitudinal piece member 4 made of a spring band steel and fitted in the longitudinal groove 3. (See FIG. 7). The piece member 4 forms a flexible carrier element for the rubber wiper blade 2, that is to say it is biased in a curved state (the bending in the working state is that of the windshield to be wiped). ) Adjacent ends 5 of the piece members 4 are interconnected on both sides of the windshield wiper device 1 by means of connecting parts 6 which are separate components. The windshield wiper device 1 further includes a connecting tool 7 for the swing arm 8 and a spoiler 9.

図２の左図は、どのように連結部品６と金属継手部１０とが摺動自在に連結されるのかを示し、一方、図２の右図は、連結部品６と継手部１０とが組み立てられた状態を示している。   2 shows how the connecting part 6 and the metal joint part 10 are slidably connected, while the right figure of FIG. 2 shows that the connecting part 6 and the joint part 10 are assembled. The state is shown.

片部材４、ならびに組み立てられた状態の連結部品６および継手部１０（ワイパーブレード２を省略）の底面図に関する図６を参照すると、片部材４は、該片部材４の縦長な内部端１３から横方向に延びる突起１２をそれぞれ具備している。連結部品６が継手部１０に摺動自在に取り付けられ、続いて片部材４の隣接端５に取り付けられると、スナップまたはクリック結合が実現され、突起１２は、継手部１０内の係止部１４´，１４´´（『切込み１４』）の間にスナップまたはクリックされる。各突起１２は、これらの両側の係止部１４´，１４´´間の小さな溝で静止している。したがって、片部材４は、連結部品６／継手部１０に関する縦方向へのあらゆる動きに対してブロックされる。各継手部１０は、それらと一体成形された係合部材１５をさらに備え、該係合部材１５は、そこに片部材４を摺動させるための溝１６を形成するように片部材４の周りに係合している。この係合部材１５は、片部材４が連結部品６／継手部１０に関する縦方向へのあらゆる動きに対してブロックされることを確実に実現している。連結部品６の自由端から見て外方を向いている係止部１４´は、片部材４に継手部１０を滑り込ませるのに過剰な力を要さないように傾斜した上面を備え、一方、突起１２が溝内で一旦静止すると、片部材４から継手部１０を取り外すのは容易ではない。また、片部材４の自由端の方を向いた係止部１４´´は、各片部材４の上端が係止部１４´´と連結部品６の（側）壁との間に配される際に、片部材４が相互一定距離で確実に維持されるようにしている（図６参照）。各連結部品６は、スポイラ９の自由端を収容するための空洞１７を有している。   Referring to FIG. 6 for a bottom view of the piece member 4 and the connecting part 6 and the joint part 10 (wiper blade 2 omitted) in the assembled state, the piece member 4 is formed from the vertically long inner end 13 of the piece member 4. Each of the projections 12 extends in the lateral direction. When the connecting part 6 is slidably attached to the joint part 10 and subsequently attached to the adjacent end 5 of the piece member 4, a snap or click coupling is realized, and the protrusion 12 is connected to the locking part 14 in the joint part 10. Snaps or clicks between ', 14' '("cut 14"). Each protrusion 12 is stationary in a small groove between the locking portions 14 ′ and 14 ″ on both sides. Thus, the piece member 4 is blocked against any longitudinal movement with respect to the connecting part 6 / joint 10. Each joint portion 10 further includes an engagement member 15 integrally formed therewith, and the engagement member 15 is formed around the piece member 4 so as to form a groove 16 for sliding the piece member 4 therethrough. Is engaged. This engagement member 15 reliably realizes that the one-piece member 4 is blocked against any movement in the vertical direction with respect to the connecting part 6 / joint portion 10. The engaging part 14 ′ facing outward as viewed from the free end of the connecting part 6 has an upper surface that is inclined so that no excessive force is required to slide the joint part 10 into the piece member 4. Once the protrusion 12 is stationary in the groove, it is not easy to remove the joint portion 10 from the piece member 4. Moreover, as for the latching | locking part 14 '' which faced the free end of the piece member 4, the upper end of each piece member 4 is distribute | arranged between the latching | locking part 14 '' and the (side) wall of the connection component 6. FIG. In this case, the piece members 4 are reliably maintained at a constant distance from each other (see FIG. 6). Each connecting part 6 has a cavity 17 for receiving the free end of the spoiler 9.

図２ないし図７から分かるように、継手部１０は、拭取対象であるフロントガラスから離れる方向に延びるワイパーブレード２の一部に堀（channel）１８を含んでいる。この堀１８は、ワイパーブレード２に継手部１０を保持するために、ワイパーブレード２の一部１９を把持するように下方に広がっている把持歯２０´からなる保持手段を含んでいる。この把持歯２０´は、堀１８の上壁から切られ、該上壁から拭取対象であるフロントガラスの方に曲げられている。また、保持手段は、堀１８の端壁２０´´を備えている。実際には、この端壁２０´´は、連結部品６の端壁２１で終端となる（図４および図６参照）。   As can be seen from FIGS. 2 to 7, the joint portion 10 includes a channel 18 in a part of the wiper blade 2 extending in a direction away from the windshield to be wiped. The moat 18 includes holding means including gripping teeth 20 ′ extending downward so as to hold a part 19 of the wiper blade 2 in order to hold the joint portion 10 on the wiper blade 2. The gripping teeth 20 ′ are cut from the upper wall of the moat 18 and bent from the upper wall toward the windshield to be wiped. The holding means includes an end wall 20 ″ of the moat 18. In practice, this end wall 20 ″ terminates at the end wall 21 of the connecting part 6 (see FIGS. 4 and 6).

図３および図５を参照すると、連結部品６と継手部１０とは、スナップ結合手段によっても摺動自在に連結され、該スナップ結合は、連結部品６の内壁２３から横方向に延びる突起２２を備えている。この突起２２は、継手部１０の係止部２４間に配されている。この係止部２４は、継手部１０内の凹部２５の横断面によって形成されている。各連結部品６には、継手部１０と係合するための下方に延びるアーム２６が一体成形されている。アーム２６の自由端は、継手部１０に堅固な方法で係合するように内方に延びている。   Referring to FIGS. 3 and 5, the connecting part 6 and the joint part 10 are slidably connected also by a snap coupling means, and the snap coupling includes a protrusion 22 extending laterally from the inner wall 23 of the connecting part 6. I have. The protrusion 22 is disposed between the locking portions 24 of the joint portion 10. The locking portion 24 is formed by a cross section of the concave portion 25 in the joint portion 10. Each connecting component 6 is integrally formed with a downwardly extending arm 26 for engaging with the joint portion 10. The free end of the arm 26 extends inward to engage the joint 10 in a rigid manner.

本発明は、図示された実施形態に限定されず、後述する付記された特許請求の範囲内に含まれる他の実施形態にまで及ぶものである。   The present invention is not limited to the illustrated embodiments, but extends to other embodiments that fall within the scope of the appended claims as described below.
